Hi,
I dont know if this has been suggested before but I think it would be great to sell or in some way trade your draftpick within your league. This would give the manager even more choices he can make to improve his team (in my opinion, more available options is a good thing as long as new players can understand the options, which is the case in this case).
I really think their arent much disadvantages to this possibility other than technical problems if you keep the trading within your league. This way a manager gets the choice between keeping a pick or collect some more money to invest in other things. This would result in managers choosing between a direct profit (by not investing in scouts and selling a good pick) and a unsure long term profit (by investing in a pick and the scouting).
Greetings,
